The Holistic GLP-1 Podcast with Elizabeth McGannAuthor: Elizabeth McGann
Without a doubt, GLP-1 medications have revolutionized the weight loss discussion in the U.S. and throughout the world since many first heard about them in 2022. On The Holistic GLP-1 Podcast, Elizabeth McGann explores the latest breakthroughs and concerns about applying GLP-1 weight loss technology with a holistic approach that balances the critical dimensions of body, mind & Soul. The podcast explores essential topics, including how a medication originally developed for the treatment of diabetes has rapidly turned into arguably the most profoundly impactful weight loss medication in history; how microdosing GLP-1 medications under a doctor's care may be a more effective weight loss strategy than the pharmaceutically recommended dose; the specific needs of perimenopause and menopause age women; and endogenous ways to stimulate the GLP-1 hormone naturally in the body without medication. Among the top 5% of podcasts listened to internationally, The Holistic GLP-1 Podcast consistently ranks as the #1 show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify on the topic of GLP-1 weight loss medications worldwide.
